Once again, I'm not much of a guitar player, but isn't a standard MIDI out better than the GK pickup so that you can use any keyboards/modules directly without conversion? For someone like me who has half a dozen modules plus keyboards and plugins, not having to deal with guitar midi modules/conversion would be a good thing.
On paper, yes. In practice, guitar to midi is more difficult to play “naturally” because of latency and tracking/mistriggers, which is partially dependent on your playing style. Example, I can make guitar synth sound fine in a mix if I play well, but it’s possible that when you solo the track you might hear some weirdness (extra notes/wrong notes/etc) and the raw midi data itself will almost certainly have anomalies.
If you are understanding of that and can play guitar cleanly then you could maybe make this work acceptably. I might be more interested if I didn’t already own guitar synth devices.
IMHO a GK equipped guitar and an SY1000 is the best bet for a modern solution (gives you best of both worlds).
I would be surprised if this guitar does any better than that, but it may also do guitar to midi just as well as the above combination too.
